Mickey Jones

Texan drummer Mickey Jones, who had played with Johnny Rivers and Trini Lopez,
joined the Dylan/Hawks tour in the spring of 1966, taking over the drum stool
from Sandy Konikoff. Jones followed the
Hawks to Australia, and later to Europe, where he played on some of the
famous, and later heavily bootlegged, Dylan shows in England. Jones'
primitive "ham-fisted" style
of playing, quite different from the technically advanced, loose, drumming
of Levon Helm, was described by an Australian journalist as
"making Ringo Starr sound as subtle as an Indian tabla player".
Jones left the Hawks when the Dylan tour ended in the summer of 1966.
